TRANSPORT BY ROAD I.1. ADR Annexes A and B to the ADR, as applicable with effect from 1 January 2025, it being understood that ‘contracting party’ is replaced by ‘Member State’ as appropriate. I.2. Additional transitional provisions 1. Member States may maintain derogations adopted on the basis of Article 4 of Directive 94/55/EC until 31 December 2010 or until Annex I, Section I.1, is amended to reflect the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods referred to in that Article if this occurs earlier.

2. Within its territory each Member State may authorise the use of tanks and vehicles constructed before 1 January 1997 which do not comply with this Directive but were constructed in accordance with the national requirements in force on 31 December 1996, provided that such tanks and vehicles are maintained to the required safety levels. Tanks and vehicles constructed on or after 1 January 1997 which do not comply with this Directive but were constructed in accordance with the requirements of Directive 94/55/EC in force on the date of their construction may continue to be used for national transport.

3. Within its territory each Member State in which the ambient temperature is regularly lower than – 20 °C may impose more stringent standards as regards the operating temperature of materials used for plastic packaging, tanks and their equipment intended for use in the national transport of dangerous goods by road until provisions on the appropriate reference temperatures for given climatic zones are incorporated into Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive.

4. Within its territory each Member State may maintain national provisions other than those laid down in this Directive with regard to the reference temperature for the transport of liquefied gases or mixtures of liquefied gases, until provisions relating to appropriate reference temperatures for designated climatic areas are incorporated into European standards and referred to in Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive.

5. Each Member State may, for transport operations performed by vehicles registered within its territory, maintain the provisions of its national legislation in force on 31 December 1996 relating to the display or placement of an emergency action code or hazard card in place of the hazard identification number laid down in Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive.

6. Member States may maintain national restrictions on the transport of substances containing dioxins and furans applicable on 31 December 1996. I.3. National derogations Derogations for Member States for the transport of dangerous goods within their territory on the basis of Article 6(2) of Directive 2008/68/EC. Numbering of derogations: RO-a/bi/bii-MS-nn RO = Road a/bi/bii = Article 6(2) a/bi/bii MS = Abbreviation of Member State nn = order number Based on Article 6(2)(a) of Directive 2008/68/EC BE Belgium RO-a-BE-2 Subject: Transport of uncleaned empty containers having contained products of different classes. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: 5.4.1.1.6

Content of the national legislation: Indication on the transport document ‘uncleaned empty packages having contained products of different classes’. Initial reference to the national legislation: Derogation 6-97 Expiry date: 31 December 2028 RO-a-BE-3 Subject: Adoption of RO-a-HU-2. Initial reference to the national legislation: derogation 4-2004 Expiry date: 31 December 2028 RO-a-BE-4 Subject: exemption of all ADR requirements for the national transport of maximum 1 000 used ionic smoke detectors from private households to the treatment facility in Belgium via the collection points provided for in the scenario for the selective collection of smoke detectors. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: all requirements Content of the national legislation: The domestic use of ionic smoke detectors is not submitted to regulatory control from a radiological point of view once the smoke detector is of an approved type. The transport of these smoke detectors to the end-user is also exempted from ADR requirements. (See 1.7.1.4. (e).)

Directive 2002/96/EC (on waste electric and electronic equipment) requires the selective collection of used smoke detectors for treatment of the circuit boards and, for the ionic smoke detectors, to take out the radioactive substances. To make this selective collection possible a scenario has been developed to stimulate private households to bring their used smoke detectors to a collection point from which these detectors can be carried to a treatment facility sometimes via a second collection point or an intermediate storage place. At the collection points metal packaging will be made available wherein a maximum of 1 000 smoke detectors can be packed. From these points one such package with the smoke detectors can be transported together with other wastes to an intermediate storage or the treatment facility. The package will be labelled with the word ‘smoke detector’. Initial reference to the national legislation: scenario for the selective collection of smoke detectors makes part of the conditions for removal of approved instruments set out in Article 3.1.d.2 of the royal decree of 20 July 2001: the general radiation protection regulation.

Comments: This derogation is necessary to make the selective collection of used ionic smoke detectors possible. Expiry date: 30 June 2026 DK Denmark RO-a-DK-2 Subject: Road transport of packaging containing explosive substances and packaging containing detonators on the same vehicle. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: 7.5.2.2 Content of the Annex to the Directive: Mixed packing provisions. Content of the national legislation: The rules in the ADR must be observed when transporting dangerous goods by road. Initial reference to the national legislation: Bekendtgørelse nr. 729 of 15. august 2001 om vejtransport af farligt gods § 4, stk. l Comments: There is a practical need for being able to pack explosive substances together with detonators on the same vehicle when transporting such goods from where they are stored to the workplace and back again. When the Danish legislation concerning the transport of dangerous goods is amended, the Danish authorities will allow such transport under the following conditions: 1. Not more than 25 kg explosive substances under group D are being transported.

2. Not more than 200 pieces of detonators under group B are being transported.

3. Detonators and explosive substances must be packed separately in UN-certified packaging in accordance with the rules set out in Directive 2000/61/EC amending Directive 94/55/EC.

4. The distance between packaging that contains detonators and packaging that contains explosive substances must be at least 1 metre. This distance has to be observed even after a sudden application of the brakes. Packaging containing explosive substances and packaging containing detonators must be placed in a way that makes it possible quickly to remove them from the vehicle.

5. All other rules concerning the transport of dangerous goods by road must be observed. Expiry date: 30 June 2026 RO-a-DK-3 Subject: Road transport of packaging and articles containing wastes or residues of dangerous goods of certain classes from households and enterprises for the purpose of disposal.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Bekendtgørelse nr. 818 af 28. juni 2011 om vejtransport af farligt gods § 4, stk. 3

Comments: It is not possible for waste managers to apply all provisions of Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC when wastes with residual amounts of dangerous goods have been collected from private households and enterprises to be carried for disposal. The waste is usually contained in packagings that have been sold in retail. Expiry date: 30 June 2027 DE Germany RO-a-DE-1 Subject: Mixed packing and mixed loading of car parts with classification 1.4G together with certain dangerous goods (n4). Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: 4.1.10 and 7.5.2.1 Content of the Annex to the Directive: Provisions on mixed packing and mixed loading. Content of the national legislation: UN 0431 and UN 0503 may be loaded together with certain dangerous goods (products related to car manufacturing) in certain amounts, listed in the exemption. The value 1 000 (comparable with 1.1.3.6.4) shall not be exceeded. Initial reference to the national legislation: Gefahrgut-Ausnahmeverordnung – GGAV 2002 vom 6.11.2002 (BGBl. IS. 4350); Ausnahme 28.
